Default Re: advice for first time home buyer?

[ QUOTE ]
Do you feel my reasons are bad? I dont like apartment life. Renting a house would be just as expensive as buying. I have long term plans where I currently live.

Buy the house. Owning has other benefits over renting: You get the pride of ownership. You can put money into customizing anything you want. You get tax benefits. You have the potential of capital appreciation.
